Easy Chicken Sausage Alfredo
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
1 Jar “Newman's Own Alfredo Pasta Sauce” (you can also make your own from scratch!)
16 oz GF Brown Rice Rotini Pasta
Chicken Sausage Links, sliced
1/2 Red Onion, thinly sliced into strips
7-10 Mushrooms (depending on size), sliced
1/2-1 Bag fresh Spinach
Cooking Oil (ie., Avocado oil or Ghee)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Cook the Gluten-Free Pasta:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook the gluten-free brown rice pasta according to the package instructions until it's al dente.
Once done, drain the pasta and set it aside.
2. Sauté the Chicken Sausage and Veggies:
While the pasta is cooking, heat a separate pan over medium heat and add a little bit of cooking oil.
Add the sliced chicken sausages and sauté them until they are browned and cooked through.
Add the thinly sliced red onion and sliced mushrooms to the pan with the sausages.
Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Sauté the veggies until they are tender and the onions are translucent.
3. Add Fresh Spinach:
Once the veggies and sausage are fully cooked, remove the pan from the heat.
Add the fresh spinach to the pan with the sautéed mixture.
The heat from the pan will wilt the spinach. Toss everything together until the spinach is slightly wilted.
4. Combine Pasta and Alfredo Sauce:
Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce.
Mix well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
5. Mix in the Sautéed Mixture:
Add the sautéed chicken sausage and veggie mixture to the pasta and Alfredo sauce.
Gently fold the sautéed ingredients into the creamy Alfredo-coated pasta until everything is well combined.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
Dish it up onto some plates, and finish with some freshly cracked black pepper for a boot of flavor some digestive help!
Serve hot and enjoy!
